In response to the announcement, numerous fans took to social media to express their concerns. One fan went the extra mile, comparing an Adidas jersey to a Fanatics jersey in a photograph to highlight the disparity in quality.
Another Twitter user shared photos of his Fanatics NHL jerseys with printing errors. One example was a Jared Spurgeon Minnesota Wild jersey with the name misspelled as "Spurgeno."
The second example is a New Jersey Devils jersey with Jack Hughes' name and number on the back, but Nico Hischier's number on the sleeves.
A Twitter page called "Fanatics Sucks" features a multitude of similar examples.
